I'm a teacher from Navasota, TX. Sleeved on June 24th....down 35 lbs. Absolutely LOVE my sleeve!!

That's fantastic!!! Wishing you and your husband the best! What a joy!

Chinamama - LOVE that idea!! Then you'd have your money already set aside!

TWsport....so glad to hear that you came through to the other side! Welcome to the loser's bench...sorry it was such a rough start but hopefully you'll be smooth sailing before long! Praying for continued healing for you and for a little more strength everyday! Congratulations!

Wow Michelle, That's a lot going on right now. Even more prayers headed your way as you and your family deal with this sorrow. Perhaps it was better to have the surgery changed to Wed. I will continue to think of you and pray that all things go well for you. So sorry to hear of your loss.

BarNone- Tomorrow's your day! Are you so excited you can hardly stand it? Praying for you and your loved ones that will be going through this with you tomorrow! I am sure that all will go well! Hope to hear from you in a few days that you are doing well! God speed!

My husband & I both found issues with MFP this morning as well. All seems to be resolved now this evening.

So glad to hear it! Everyday gets better from here! The desire for some REAL food starts to go away as you get to eat something. The first week of "head hunger" was pretty bad.But it's all worth it!

My response really is.....this was MY decision. It's not right for everyone, but it was right for me! Someone told me their response was " I'm sorry....Your opinion didn't really figure into what I decided to do so I didn't think to ask you BEFORE I made my decision!" LOL Guess you just need to get to a place where what others say doesn't really bother you. It isn't the right decision for everyone.....but I KNOW it was the right one for me and I'd never go back!

Very cute! She actually may have gotten the idea from Pinterest too!

I too have that goal! I have lost 26 lbs so far and tried it the other day, but it is not time yet! I have a gorgeous diamond that I have not been able to wear for the past 9 years.....so looking forward to being able to get it back on! Congratulations! I know what a great moment this is for you!

Fabulously said! Love it!

Wow! You look GREAT!! Way to go!

Well you won't be able to drive anywhere for a few days so consider that. I cleaned the house real well right before surgery, stocked up on groceries that would be needed, bought some more unhealthy but "quick", easy things for the kids to eat...lunchables, pizza rolls, chicken nuggets, poptarts, popsicles,etc. and a lot of protein shakes for me, mowed the lawn, did ALL the laundry, found the heating pad & all my really comfortable, loose lounge pants. It was nice to come home and have all that done! I was able to move around on my own, even in the hospital, so it isn't like you will not be able to move....it will just hurt a little. My kids are a little older, the youngest 9, so they could get their own lunchables, or make a PB & J for a few days. By day 4 post op I was awake a lot more and more ready to be a Mom again! You'll do fine I'm sure! My kids were very understanding and were quite helpful.....but are glad that Mom's back now!
